Boys' Education Gap

Anonymous User writes "The Maine State Education Commissioner is forming a study group to examine causes and solutions for boys having lower grades and educational aspirations than girls. The Bangor Daily News article is here: and includes the following:

"Research says boys are in trouble on other fronts. They are 15 times as likely as girls to be victims of violent crimes; they commit suicide more often; drop out of high school at four times the rate of adolescent girls; and are more apt to be left behind a grade and diagnosed with attention deficit disorder."

The article also states, "During interviews a couple of years ago when asked whether they liked school, the majority of little girls said yes, while most little boys answered no." Many of those looking into this will probably try to sing and dance around the truth, but the fact is: Feminist teachers and administrators have turned the nation's academy into a viciously hostile environment for men and boys.

The article also states, "It doesn't bode well for society in general. Boys are abandoning ship." Well, if feminism continues to poison all of industrialized society, especially the English speaking nations, then we won't have to worry about this for long. Industrialized society, through the end of birthing, will cease to exist.
